Phyllium pulchrifolium lives mostly in rainforest areas. Its body, legs, and wings are very similar to leaves, which camouflages and protects it from predators. Males use their hind wings to fly, but females are too heavy to fly. It's a herbivore that feeds on the leaves of guava, cherry, mango, and other trees and moves slowly.
